We have rented a VRBO in Feb for at least 15 years. Every year we rented in a new location, but this is the second year we've rented this house. Rick is the best host of any property we've stayed in, hands down. The house is a dream...clean and fresh, updated, nicely set up, and RIGHT ON the BAYOU. Literally.
The people in the area are terribly nice...friendly, helpful, fun, kind. We can never get enough of the local seafod...oysters (the half shell oysters were the best we've ever had this year), shrimp, crab, crawdads...usually from a restaurant in Houma, previously the national Oyster capitol, which is about 20 minutes north. This year we tried grilled oysters and were WOWED.
We also ate an amazing buffalo shrimp poboy at the local Duges, and of course the whole area features gumbo and jambalaya.
We had to go to the Quarter for Muffaletta sandwiches, but got tickets to Preservation Hall while we were there. N.O. is just about 1.5 hours and an easy trip.
This is a wonderful place to sit back, fish, unwind, and enjoy a lovely sunset beyond the bayou.
